Chapter 50: Breakthrough to the Half-Step Grandmaster Realm!

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“It seems that breaking through to the grandmaster realm is harder than I thought!”

After two years of closed-door cultivation, he was no longer a young man at the intermediate stage of the Xiantian realm.

Two months ago, he successfully reached the advanced stage of the Xiantian realm and was only one step away from the grandmaster realm.

However, it was just this one step that he couldn’t cross over in these two months.

“Victor, are you worried about breaking through to the grandmaster realm?”

At this moment, the sound of the door being pushed open came from behind.

Zhang Lingren walked out of the courtyard.

Victor’s eyes lit up. Zhang Lingren’s understanding of cultivation was one of the best in the entire Jianghu.

Perhaps he could ask for advice and obtain the method to breakthrough.

Victor nodded. “Master, I have been stuck at the half-step grandmaster realm for two months. How can I not be worried?”

At this point, Victor couldn’t help but sigh again.

“Uh...”

Zhang Lingren’s face stiffened, and the corner of his mouth couldn’t help but Twitch.

He raised his hand, but Zhang Lingren put it down again.

At that moment, he almost couldn’t help himself and slapped him.

Two months was a long time?

Countless couldn’t take this step in their entire lifetime and end up becoming a half-grandmaster for the rest of their lives.

Not to mention the others, just Victor’s senior brothers alone, how many of them had reached the grandmaster realm?

This kid on the other hand complained when he was just stuck for two months.

If he didn’t know Victor well, Zhang Lingren would have thought that Victor was deliberately bragging in front of him.

Thinking back to the time when he was stuck for almost a year as a half-grandmaster, Zhang Lingren’s old face couldn’t help but blush.

“Master, do you have any good ideas?”

Victor turned his head to look at Zhang Lingren, his face full of hope.

Zhang Lingren had experienced this stage a long time ago, so he definitely had experience.

“I do have ideas, but saying it out loud may not be good for you.

“I can only tell you that the half-grandmaster level is a big threshold for us cultivators.

“Some people may breakthrough in three to five months.

“Or they may be stuck at the half-step grandmaster level for the rest of their lives, unable to advance any further.

“This is because the grandmaster level means that we can already communicate with the surrounding spiritual energy and achieve the release of true energy.

“To communicate with the surrounding spiritual energy and achieve the release of true energy, we must first activate the innate qi hidden in our bodies.”

“Innate qi?”

Victor was not unfamiliar with this term. He had seen it in fantasy novels, such as Xianxia novels.

“That’s right, innate qi!”

Zhang Lingren stroked his white beard, then put his hands behind his back and continued.

“The so-called innate qi is a very pure kind of spiritual qi that is contained in the body of a person before they were born.

“Most of the innate qi will be contaminated by the acquired qi of the outside world after a person is born. Only a small part of it will be hidden in a corner of our body.

“To break through to the grandmaster realm, the innate qi hidden in our body would need to be activated and then upgraded to a higher level of spiritual essence.

“This is all I can tell you. As for which corner of our body the innate qi is hidden in, I can’t tell you.

“Because the innate qi hidden in each person’s body may be different.”

“Master, then how should I find the innate qi?”

“With your heart!”

“With my heart?”

Zhang Lingren nodded.

“Victor, you can’t rush this!

“Sometimes, the more anxious you are, the more unproductive it will be.

“At this time, you might as well focus on other things.

“For example, the way of the sword!”

“The way of the sword?”

Victor looked up at Zhang Lingren with some doubt.

“That’s right! The way of the sword!”!

“Didn’t you notice?

“Other than the rapid improvement in your cultivation, you’re also very talented with sword.”

Victor was still confused. He didn’t understand why Zhang Lingren suddenly mentioned sword talent.

“Victor, do you think that the peak of the sword talent is just to cultivate a sword technique to perfection?”

Zhang Lingren turned to look at Victor. Without waiting for Victor to answer, he answered his own question.

“No, it’s the opposite. It’s just the beginning of the way of the sword!”

“The beginning of the way of the sword?”

Victor’s body trembled.

He suddenly remembered that three years ago, not long after the system was awakened, he had asked the system what was the use of downloading the talent of the way of the sword.

At that time, the system had told him that with the talent with the sword, he could walk towards the peak of the way of the sword.

The system said so, and Zhang Lingren said the same thing now.

“That’s right. Only when a set of swordsmanship reaches the transformation stage it can be considered the beginning of swordsmanship. The previous ones, such as the initial success stage or the perfection stage, can only be considered to be a good set of swordsmanship.”

“Master, then what is the beginning of swordsmanship?”

Victor was excited.

He realized that apart from his cultivation, it seemed that he could also reflect over swordsmanship.

“Victor, watch carefully! Feel it carefully!”

As soon as he finished speaking.

Victor immediately felt a powerful pressure surge out from Zhang Lingren’s body.

At this moment.

Zhang Lingren seemed to have transformed into a divine sword, moving unhindered and suppressing at all directions!

“Oh? This is... The Eight Desolates Sword technique??”

At this moment, not far away from them.

The disciples who were responsible for cleaning Zhang Lingren’s courtyard suddenly felt powerful pressure.

It was as if an invisible mountain had appeared out of thin air and was falling from the sky.

They all retreated one after another, trying to escape from Zhang Lingren’s courtyard.

Boom!

Two of the weakest disciples were sent flying by the invisible pressure.

Their faces were all red. It was obvious that they could not control the blood qi in their bodies.

The other disciples were in a better condition, but they were still forced to kneel on the ground under the pressure, unable to move!

Not to mention the other disciples, Victor, who was closest to Zhang Lingren, also felt suffocated by the pressure.

The pressure came and went quickly!

With a thought from Zhang Lingren, the pressure disappeared without a trace.

“Master, what is this? It’s so strong!”

Victor’s eyes lit up.

He felt that if he could master this pressure, he could instantly suppress those in the same realm!

“This is the sword force that I have evolved from The Eight Desolates Sword technique after my sword technique reached the transformation state, suppressing the eight desolates!”

“Sword force? Suppress the eight desolates?”

Victor thought about it carefully. The pressure just now was indeed an aura that seemed to suppress everything.

“That’s right! It’s the sword force!”!

“Don’t think that the sword force is the most powerful. In fact, I have only reached the first stage.

“After the sword force, there is still the sword intent!

“Unfortunately, I have only reached the completion of the sword force. I still have a long way to go before I reach the sword intent!”

“Sword force? Sword Intent?”

Zhang Lingren’s words undoubtedly opened a door for Victor, a door that led to the pinnacle of the talent in the sword.

Following that, Zhang Lingren chatted with Victor for nearly half an hour.

After they finished chatting, Victor once again stepped into the courtyard and began his closed-door cultivation.

This time, he wasn’t trying to break through to the half-grandmaster realm.

Instead, he wanted to see if he could comprehend the sword force or even the sword intent!

Time passed quickly while Victor was in seclusion.

In the blink of an eye, a year had passed.

At this moment, there was only half a year left until Zhang Lingren’s 300th birthday.
